At the age of 25

At the age of 25, driven men and women around the world are pursuing academic goals, working for a cause, contributing to the economy, holding up social values, obeying the moral code, and generally making a nuisance of themselves. But, if asked what is it that drives them, most of them are suddenly faced with an immense vacuum which they try to fill up with words like academic pursuits, the cause, economy, social values, moral code etc.
On the other hand, there is another breed of men, such as yours truly…
He knows exactly what drives him… What gives him focus and clarity of vision…What motivates him to wake up each day…And what makes hard work appear tolerable…

nicotine, alcohol and caffeine

'nicotine alcohol and caffeine' taken together is an image (i prefer the word idea)of a state of being (with the pot thrown in, it takes an even higher state of being!!!)or rather a way of life, which could take take a negative cnnotation if u belong to the Readers Digest School of Thought or a very positive one if u belong to the Pink Floyd School of Thought

Machiavelli said...

We very much are i belive..but one can never be sure..to quote a brilliant song "...words sometimes can have two meanings"

or many more

on a different note:
i seem to be getting acquainted to a lot of individuals from the deep south-west of india

Machiavelli said...

Not surprising...down here, we are a lot given to deep reflections on dichotomies

anwesha said...

i believe that that response bears testimony to the fact that i have the ABILITY to get acquainted with the 'thinking', 'potten' people
so it reflects on my good taste :)

on a different note, your pride is parallel to mine
only the location from which the pride springs is different!!!!!!!

Machiavelli said...

Glad to be another proof for the much-hyped link between the Bengali and Malayali intelligentia

silverine said...

Arindam said...

Machiavelli said...

@hairy snail, yup the first item is avoided and the second item is counter-productive
